I would like to invite each of you to listen careful to God\u2019s voice in your heart. Listen to his voice. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Open your hearts. Open up your hearts to Christ. The deepest joy there is in life is the joy that comes from God and is found in Jesus Christ the son of God. Jesus is the hope of yours. He is my hope. He is the hope of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him. True joy is a victory, something which cannot be obtained without a long and difficult struggle. Christ holds the secret of this victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let yourselves be taken over by the light of Christ,
and spread that light wherever you are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures
We are the sum of God’s love for us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope St John Paul II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
